Seeing Lu Jingzhi ask why he didn't tell Mule about his transformation plan in advance, Candi smiled: "Oh, don't be embarrassed for him, he doesn't understand." ”

Muller's face flushed, but he couldn't say anything, for he really didn't understand.

Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Mule was deflated, but he still had to take care of the face of his subordinates, so he said with a straight face: "Candi, let me ask you, if someone wants to dismantle your machine, do you also want to ask?"

Candy looked incredulous and said, "Who has the power to improve the machinery I designed? I studied mechanical engineering." ”

Lu Jingzhi said: "But how can you prove that your revision is correct and valid?"

Candy spread his hands and said, "My education and major are proof of that." ”

Lu Jingzhi found that it didn't make sense to him, this person who was very confident in mechanics could almost be compared to Tangtang's stubbornness in communication. But Sugar Candy is still willing to listen to him, and how can Candy be so obedient like Sugar Candy?

Wait! like sugar candy...... Obedient? Maybe you can try.

Lu Jingzhi turned pale and said, "Candi, let me ask you, what rank are you?"

Candy hurriedly replied, "It's a private, sir." ”

"Then why can't you explain your thoughts to Sergeant Müller?"

"Because he doesn't understand, sir. "Candy is still in his own logic.

"Why don't you let him understand?" Lu Jingzhi continued to ask. His voice, which hasn't changed yet, sounds high-pitched, a bit like a girl arguing with her boyfriend — and admittedly, it's funny to think about.

"Because his knowledge is too poor, sir. Kandi replied. At that time, everyone thought that Kandi was arguing with Lu Jingzhi, and they were even worried that the boy would pull Candy out to stand up - even if he was not killed, corporal punishment was still very possible. But in Candy's view, it's just a quiz game.

"Why don't you teach him?" Lu Jingzhi asked.

"Because it couldn't be, he didn't study mechanical engineering, sir. Kandi replied.

"Who authorized you to disassemble the machine?" Lu Jingzhi asked again.

"You authorized it, sir. Kandi replied.

"I don't remember having such a mandate. Lu Jingzhi thought about it carefully, as if he just asked him to take a look, and didn't let him do it.

"But there was no order to prohibit it, so I was ordered to look at it, and if I found a mistake, I had to correct it. Candy replied.

"Okay......" Lu Jingzhi was speechless again, he originally wanted to make Candi realize his mistake, but he didn't expect that he would make him speechless. Usually Tangtang is disobedient, how do you deal with it? It's not to reason with her, reasoning with girls is an act of looking for death, especially girls who are close to you. So, if you reason with a scholar, you can talk to him? No, we are soldiers, and we can't explain it when we meet soldiers. It seems that this is the only way to do it.

"Private Candi, I officially authorize Sergeant Müller...... No, I'm now promoting Müller to lieutenant and overseeing your renovation program. This order allows for refusal, you can not report it to him, but I will disqualify you from the post if I find out. ”

Candy asked, puzzled, "Why?" sir, he didn't understand. ”

"Process!" Lu Jingyi said with a wicked smile on his face, "Military supervision process." ”

Candy angrily protested: "There has never been such a process. ”

Lu Jingzhi: "When I authorized Mueller to be my science and technology company commander, it was already there. ”

Candy said angrily, "Then I ask to quit, sir!"

Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, you will lose your current treatment." ”

Candy said proudly, "Yes, sir!"

Lu Jingzhi: "You will go back to participate in combat training and even engage in heavy physical work. ”

Candy visibly hesitated, but still said strongly, "I can bear it." My military uniform reminds me that training is my calling. ”

Lu Jingzhi threw out the deadliest king bomb: "And you will lose the opportunity to contact those machines again." High-temperature reactors, pneumatic lathes and forging presses, you won't touch them anymore. ”

Candi's face distorted, and after many psychological struggles, he slowly sat down, with a sad expression on his face, and said in annoyance, "No, this is unacceptable to me." You can't afford to let a mechanical genius lose the opportunity to touch the mechanics, you know that's his life. ”

The smile on Lu Jingzhi's face was not to mention bright, he nodded politely in agreement with Kandi, and then asked, "So, obey the order?"

Kandi glanced at Muller helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Yes, sir." Then he glanced at Lu Jingzhi quickly, and found that he didn't mock himself, so he quickly explained: "Sir, I'm not afraid, but my military uniform is reminding me that it is my duty to obey orders, sir." ”

Lu Jingzhi smiled: "Don't care so much, Kandi, you are still my chief mechanical engineer, but you have to report your plan to your company commander." ”

Candy wondered, "But he didn't understand." ”

Lu Jingzhi gave him a smile, slightly bent his index finger and middle finger with both hands, made a "double quotation mark" shape, and said, "It's just a 'report'." ”

Candy suddenly realized, "Are you saying that I don't have to change it according to him?"

Lu Jingzhi ignored him and said to Mule: "Take me to see my machine." ”

When he came to that room, Lu Jingzhi did have a headache for a while, because Candy had already demolished this place. However, when he settled down to take a closer look, he was surprised to find that each module was placed in the most appropriate place. What started to be just a set of machines was modified by Kandi to form a production line that put iron ore in one end and forge any spare parts you wanted at the other.

"Candi, did you change this?" Lu Jingzhi looked at all this with a little incredulity.

"Sir, if I could have two more of these drivetrains, I would be able to get the whole system running. Candy pointed to an external combustion engine that was used as a power source.

"No problem, I'll do it for you. "Lu Jingzhi," Bart, go and get the tools from the workshop, as well as all the remaining materials. Oh, and that whole bunch of iron ore. And that big bucket of charcoal powder. ”

Baptiste agreed as he walked out, and as he took it easy, four soldiers from the Mule squad followed him, and in a short time they brought all the things Lu Jingzhi wanted. Lu Jingzhi was also unambiguous, drawing spell patterns that fit the proportions and sizes, and assembling them into two external combustion engines. Of course, most of the drawing work was combined by printing, and most of the metalworking work was done by forging presses and manual hammering, and Lu Jingzhi was only responsible for telling the mechanism in his mind and letting the soldiers help him realize it.

With the two external combustion engines, Kandi distributed them to the propeller shafts of the front and middle sections, opened the furnace door of the high-temperature reactor, mixed the iron ore and carbon powder in a certain proportion and manner, and then calculated the time, closed the furnace door and began calcination. I have to say that Candy is extremely talented in fiddling with machinery, and after fiddling with his hands, these devices that Lu Jingzhi almost didn't know how to play immediately glowed.

First a furnace of molten iron is poured from high to low, and then the furnace at the lower level rotates while changing the essence of the molten iron by properly spraying purified air elements and carbon powder, which become steel.

Lu Jingzhi slapped his thigh fiercely and muttered: "Blast furnace ironmaking, converter steelmaking, why didn't I think of such a transformation!" He muttered in Chinese, not to mention that Kandi didn't hear it, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't know the meaning.

Kandi operated the machine and put the furnace ingot under the forging press, and the forging die with dozens of tons of pressure pressed down and hit the ingot heavily. The steel ingot, which had just cooled, seemed to have been subjected to extremely high temperatures, and suddenly became hot and white. The long diamond-shaped anvil underneath withstood the tremendous pressure and impact, supporting the ingots to be forged over and over again. More impurities were beaten out in this step, and Lu Jingzhi said with a smile: "If it is a suitable mold here, maybe it can also forge a tank turret." ”

Kandi was told by Lu Jingzhi that the external combustion engine can be used as an engine, and the body of the tank can be completely forged and riveted to connect. As for the suspension, the ubiquitous problem of not having springs can no longer be an obstacle to them, and it is a big deal to opt for rigid connections. The most important thing is the weapon system, if you can use multiple batteries from time to time and fully develop your firepower, it will definitely be able to play an excellent combat role.

"Sir, uh, I mean, Company Commander Muller, I have an idea. Kandi originally wanted to report to Lu Jingzhi, but Lu Jingzhi pointed his finger at Muller, so he had to report to Muller, "I want to renovate it and add a rolling machine to produce suitable steel in large quantities." ”

Mueller hummed noncommittally, turned his head to look at Lu Jingzhi, and after seeing Lu Jingzhi nodding, he smiled and said, "Yes, no problem." But you have to be careful not to break anything. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Candy remove the propeller shaft, which no longer carried ingots, and without waiting for Müller to stop him, he reached out and removed the heating part of the high-temperature reactor.

"No!!!" Seeing that Lu Jingzhi's machinery was dismantled again, Mueller screamed in despair.

Lu Jingzhi looked at Kandi excitedly, and when he assembled the dismantled things with the air machine tool in a modular way, Lu Jingzhi had already guessed what he was going to do.

"Sir, uh, I mean, Company Commander Müller, this is a rolling machine that has just been revamped. Candy is playing with his masterpiece like Sugar Candy is showing off his archery skills, "The power is provided by the two propeller shafts, and the pressure is provided by the forging press. You only need to fine-tune the specifications of the steel plate, and any kind of steel plate can be produced. ”

Lu Jingzhi smiled and looked at Mule, who didn't know what he was going to say. It was also a blessing to his heart, and he suddenly remembered what Lu Jingzhi asked Candy - why didn't you explain it to him? So Mueller smiled: "Very good." Now, I'm going to give you a chance to explain why you're doing it until I can understand it. Okay?"

Did Candy explain? Did Meller understand? I want to know what happened next, and let's see the next breakdown.
